A MULTI-MILLION cruise ship remains at Portland Harbour as the cruise industry prepares to restart.
Disney Magic entered the harbour on Saturday, April 17 after travelling along the South Coast from Dover.
The award-winning vessel, which first launched in 1998, has 947 crew members and carries between 1,754 and 2,456 passengers when operational.
Currently at Portland Harbour, Disney Magic was illuminated overnight and could be seen for miles, partially on Portland and Wyke Regis area of Weymouth.
One resident said it was a 'joy' to watch the vessel from her house and another said it was a 'beautiful sight'. It is not known when Disney Magic will leave Portland Harbour but Disney Cruise Line has been approached for a comment.

Disney Magic previously visited Portland Harbour before the coronavirus pandemic, as part of its UK cruises.
Disney say the cruise ship promises guests an 'immersive Disney experience' - including world premier movies, Broadway-style shows in the 1000-seat Walt Disney Theatre and an after-hours grown-up’s deck.
Among the elaborate dining experiences on offer when carrying guests is the Animator's Palate restaurant in which diners can watch the restaurant, and its waiters, transform from black and white to colour throughout courses.
